Plagiarism:
According to Anderson (1998, p.27) ‘Plagiarism
includes the theft of words, ideas, findings or methods without giving the
original source.’
In other words, Plagiarism is when you use someone
else’s work and try to pretend that it is your own. When you are doing
assignments in college you are not allowed to do this. In many cases it will
result in you getting zero marks for your work. When you use someone else’s
work in your own you must reference!
What is
referencing?
According to Stogdon and Kitely (2010, p.122) ‘an
acknowledgement that you have used the work or ideas (or exact words in the
case of quotes) of others.’
Referencing is actually very beneficial for you as it
will help the reader to see where you got your ideas from. You may also gain
marks for it if it is part of the marking scheme. (Stigdon and Kiteley 2010,
p.123)
A guide for
college students who are new to referencing:
Who: You must reference the
author and the Publishers. (Owl writing
lab, 2012)
Where: You must reference in the
main body of the text and also in the Bibliography at the end. (Owl writing
lab,2012)
Why: Referencing will help to support your answer.
It will show that what you said in the text is true. According to Stogdon and
Kiteley (2010, p.123) ‘It shows that you have used academic sources to support
your statements and arguments are not just relying on unsupported, personal opinion.’
What: You must reference
someone else’s work, words and ideas. (Stogdon and Kiteley 2010, p.122)
When: Any time you use another
person’s work, words and ideas in your answer you must provide a reference.
How: When referencing you
should be familiar with your college’s policy.
